"A warm, rich, human story, which takes its substance from the
successful inroads of thrifty Irish and Polack and the whole whatnot of
foreign newcomers upon the lean New England land, with the desperate
resentments growing out of this usurpation and the futile attempts to
stem the tide of encroachment."--_Washington Evening Star._
"A capital story, but also a fine piece of workmanship and a
contribution to sociology."--_Congregationalist._
"A clean, wholesome, stimulating story pleasantly told."--_Detroit Free
Press._
"Deals wisely and sympathetically with one of the big social problems
which beset changing New England."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
